Grief and anger push for sweeping reforms to DHS after ICE violence
TL;DR Summary
Democratic lawmakers hosted an informal forum to spotlight violent use of force by DHS agents, hearing testimonies from Renee Good’s family and other witnesses about shootings and aggressive arrests. They urged reforms—body-worn cameras, officer identification, rigorous use‑of‑force training, independent investigations, and easier avenues for civil lawsuits—and called for a broad overhaul of DHS before Congress considers more funding. The event, led by Rep. Garcia and Sen. Blumenthal, was not an official hearing due to GOP opposition.
